Maison Leroy

Maison Leroy is the négociant arm of the Leroy empire founded by Henri Leroy in Auxey-Duresses, distinct from Domaine Leroy, which Lalou Bize-Leroy created from her personal vineyard acquisitions. Maison Leroy sources, selects, and ages wine from purchased barrels across all Burgundy appellations from Chablis through Mâconnais, with a particular focus on grands crus and premiers crus. The house ages wines at length in its extensive cellars before release — typically 5–8 years after harvest — meaning bottles always appear on the market in mature, ready-to-drink condition. This extended ageing philosophy, combined with extraordinarily rigorous selection (accepting perhaps 5% of offered barrels), produces wines of exceptional quality. Across 406 auction lots, Maison Leroy averages $1,833 per bottle — the highest average of any Burgundy house on this platform — with prices reaching $25,000. Chambertin Grand Cru and other grand cru releases command the highest prices. The vintage range spans back to the 1940s and 1950s in some lots.
